Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 84

"Boss, I've spent so much time investigating this for you, don't you think a little feedback or reward is in order?"

Stefan pulled out an invitation from a pile, tossing it to Edgar, "This Friday evening, the Howard family's daughter's 20th birthday party will be held in the Anderson Hotel . You should go, maybe you can solve your marriage problem."

Edgar frowned, clearly not happy.

He tossed the invitation back to Stefan, stood up and grabbed a file with Stefan's signature on it, "Ms. Howard invited you, not me. You should enjoy this good fortune yourself."

With that, he hurriedly left.

He was afraid if he didn't make a quick exit, the boss would actually make him go to Ms. Howard's birthday party.

Stefan watched Edgar leave, and once the office door closed, he chuckled, "You're too naive if you think you're going to get anything out of me."

Edgar rolled his eyes,

The boss was such a sly fox. It was disheartening.

Lucinda had no idea Stefan was shielding her from all kinds of trouble. She wasn't feeling great today and didn't feel like creating, so she asked her editor for a day off and made herself a cup of coffee.

She sat at the cashier's desk, playing songs about coffee on her computer while sipping her own.

A young girl walked in, carrying a large bouquet of flowers.

A beautiful bouquet.

The girl came over and asked politely, "Is Ms. Lucinda here?"

Holding her coffee cup, Lucinda replied, "That's me."

The girl handed her the bouquet and smiled, "Ms. Moore, I work at the florist's. A customer ordered this bouquet for you and asked me to deliver it. Can you please sign for it?"

Lucinda, thinking the flowers were from Stefan, happily signed for the bouquet.

After the delivery girl left, she looked at the note in the bouquet, it had a drawing of Cupid's arrow and the words "Lucinda, I love you."

But it didn't say who it was from.

"How mysterious."

Lucinda laughed, finding her husband to be quite romantic.

He was indeed a smooth talker.

His words always stirred her heart.

She was worried about the same things her mother was.

But after spending time together, she had fallen for Stefan.

"Stefan is so romantic, sending you flowers," Cecilia joked as she walked by.

"Are you jealous?"

"Of course."

"Then find yourself a boyfriend."

Cecilia walked away.

Lucinda laughed.

Since Stefan treated her so well, she wanted to return the favor.

"Cecilia, I'm stepping out for a bit."

Lucinda was a woman of action.

Once she had an idea, she acted on it.

She shut down her computer, picked up her phone, set the bouquet aside, and didn't forget to finish her coffee.

Without turning her head, Cecilia replied, "Go wherever you want. I'll handle things here."

People in love do whatever they want.

Cecilia showed understanding.

......

It was scorching hot at noon, the sunlight was piercing.

But if there was some juicy gossip to be had, people would still stop to listen, especially if it involved Stefan.

The entrance to Ascend Global was filled with flowers, forming a sea of blossoms.

In the sea of flowers were words made from flowers.

The words spelled out, Stefan, I like you!
